AMERICAN CHESS BULLETIN

(January 1921 - Volume 18 Number 1)

LOS ANGELES, 7; SAN FRANCISCO, 5

Because of several unfinished games, awaiting adjudication, the report of the telegraphic match played between San Francisco and Los Angeles, May 30, 1920, furnished to the Bulletin by Stasch Mlotkowski, chess editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, who headed the Los Angeles team, was first held up and, later, unfortunately side-tracked, thus accounting for this somewhat belated chronicle of one of the most important contests in the far West. The competition for inter-city honors was of the keenest, but, finally, when adjudication of the few unfinished games had been completed, the Los Angeles players were found to be victors by a margin of 2 points in a total of 12 games.
